html:button

[Strachan, Paul]

Hi,

I realise this is probably not a struts problem and I feel a bit silly posting 
this question but here goes:

I'm using html:button with EventDispatchAction but my button properties do not 
appear in the request - the html source fragment goes something like:

<script type="text/javascript">
  function doEdit(id) {
    document.TeachingMethodForm.teachingMethodId.value=id;
    document.TeachingMethodForm.submit();
  }
</script>
<form name="TeachingMethodForm" method="post" 
action="/eat3/admin/teachingMethods.do">
  <input type="hidden" name="applicationId" value="486">
  <input type="hidden" name="teachingMethodId" value="">
...
 <td>
   <input type="button" name="edit" value="Edit" 
onclick="javascript:doEdit('100');">
 </td>
...
</form>
 
Using Firefox the request header looks like:         
 
http://xxx.xxx.43.6:8988/eat3/admin/teachingMethods.do

I am expecting to see "edit=Edit" in the request and I dont understand why its 
not there.  This is contrary to the taglib documentation.
 
Any hints?
 
Thanks,
Paul
